A novel by

 
 
A dead judge.
A poisoned jar of honey.
And a tabby cat who’s already judged everyone in the room.


Seacliff Springs’ most feared food critic has just collapsed at the annual barbecue cook-off.

Plenty of people had reason to hate Danica Harrow.
The question is who finally acted on it.

Chef Fiona Firth came to the cook-off to win, not to find a body. But when a bitter note cuts through the almond smoke, she knows something is wrong.

Detective Sergeant Walsh takes charge of the investigation. Fiona starts asking quieter questions.

A pitmaster with a grudge.
A desperate sponsor protecting a failing deal.
Someone close enough to the judges’ table to know exactly how to get away with it.

All had reason to want Harrow silenced.

But the poison wasn’t placed in anger. It was planted with patience.

And while the town searches for a suspect, the person who murdered Danica Harrow is still close enough to watch Fiona work.
